What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, members of authorized special groups may obtain special

distinguishing registration plates for automobiles and certain other vehicles that are

owned or leased by members of these groups, which include fire fighters and

emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Subject to certain limitations, the

Department of Transportation (DOT) specifies the color and design for special plates.

Current law also requires DOT to establish new designs for most vehicle

registration plates, including most special plates, at intervals determined by DOT

and to issue the new plates on a rolling basis as vehicle registrations are renewed by

the vehicle owners.

This bill requires special plates for fire fighters and EMTs to be the same color

and design that was specified by DOT for these plates immediately prior to January

1, 2007. The bill also exempts these special plates from the redesign cycle.
